    Did anyone watch this show? I've recently become addicted to it on Comedy Central, very bittersweet since it was only on for one season.

    half hour dramedy based on an ESPN-like cable network. Created by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing). But I thought it lasted 2 years on ABC?

    Hey RM95. If you get HBO, Peter Krause, Casey of "Sports Night", is in the new drama series "Six Feet Under" created by Alan Ball (American Beauty). It's only been on for 3 weeks but it's been really good so far.

    I don't like it. The Dan Rydell character is pompous, and for the life of me, I can't figure it out. He's kind of ugly. Also, whats with the laughter ? It's very quiet and sporadic. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a sitcom or drama, but it isn't very good at being either one. Lots of drama, but it's overplayed and corny. I wonder if the writers think this is what goes on at ESPN, lol. Didn't this show get cancelled ?

    I loved this show when it originally aired on ABC.

    Now i have a hard time watching it because they added that damn laugh track.

    It's almost insulting because I don't need them to tell me what is supposed to be funny.

    Besides it takes the drama out of dramedy.

    I wish they hadn't added the laugh track. I would like the show more w/o the laugh track.

    I like Sportsnight, but I what I wanna know is where the hell my beloved "Upright Citizen's Brigade" went!
